Frontline Hardware and Wireless Protocol Suite Software

The Frontline Test Equipment family of protocol analyzers analyzes the following technologies.

  • Classic Bluetooth

  • Bluetooth Low Energy

  • Dual Mode Bluetooth (simultaneous Classic and Low Energy)

  • Wi-Fi

  • 802.15.4 (Thread, Matter, Zigbee)

  • HCI/I2S

The Frontline hardware interfaces with your computer that is running our robust software, Wireless Protocol Suite. Whether you are sniffing the air or connecting directly to the chip, Frontline analyzers use the same powerful software to test, troubleshoot, and debug communications faster.

Wireless Protocol Suite software is an easy to use and powerful protocol analysis platform. Simply use the appropriate Frontline hardware or write your own proprietary code to send communication streams directly into the WPS software where they are decoded, decrypted, and analyzed. Within the WPS software, you see packets, frames, events, coexistence, binary, hex, radix, statistics, errors, and more.

This manual takes you through connecting, setting up the hardware, and all the WPS functions. Should you have any questions, contact the Frontline Technical Support Team.
